Murray a Pro Bowler

[BlueStar22]

Replaces Gore.

 

[Corso]

He's a darn good back.
I congratulate him on the recognition.
If only this team would utilize him more...
And find a way to keep him on the field!

 

[Angus12]

Great thread. Very informative. Would read again.

 

[SilverStarCowboy]

Someone should let the Cowboys in on this.

 

[Fredd]

the football gods are taunting us once again...GREAT timing to put an under-used back into the pro-bowl....RIGHT when his contract is about due...

 

[perrykemp]

I'm happy with Murray but it seems like everybody is getting in . Murray wasn't even the 1st alternate -- Lacy was (who is going in place of Peterson).

Yet a third alternate will go in place of Marshawn Lynch. At this point they are, what, 5-6 deep in the NFC for running backs?

How big a deal is the Probowl when the top 50% of the league goes?

 

[JBS]

How bad is our roster when the top 50% goes to the pro bowl and we only have 5 pro bowlers?

They're not doing them by conference this year, I thought.

I agree with your broader point. They were already having to make some reaches before they started leaving out the Super Bowl teams.

He had the best average out of the top 20 RBs

[TTexasTT]

In b4 all the zoners that say this isnt anything to be proud of

 

[Kristen82]

Gotten really good at pass-blocking too.

 

[Gameover]

Deserved

 

[dstovall5]

Wow, well deserved! I admit I didn't think he'd be that productive this year, but he came out balling this year, especially after he missed a couple weeks from injury.

Well deserved, so that makes it 4 now with Witten, Murray, Smith, and Dez right?

5. Hatcher

 

[Doomsay]

5.2 yds / carry. Outstanding. Probably a handful more attempts and we would have been in the playoffs.

It's not a big deal.

All Pro is where it's at.

Maybe the former would mean less of the latter.

 

[Corso]

Maybe the former would mean less of the latter.

Wishful thinking.
My wishes along with yours, but wishful thinking none the less.

 

[Bungarian]

He caught over 50 passes too
